Question

this skateboarder is flying through the air after a jump. which would best describe the type of energy used by the skateboarder while jumping? electromagnetic energy nuclear energy mechanical energy

Explanation:

Mechanical energy is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object. When the skateboarder jumps, they use mechanical energy which is a combination of kinetic (energy of motion as they move and jump) and potential (energy due to their position, e.g., height above the ground) energy. Electromagnetic energy involves light, radio - waves etc., and nuclear energy is related to the energy released from atomic nuclei, neither of which are relevant here.

Answer:

C. Mechanical energy
